This place is a major flop. They offered me a cheeseburger when my partner and I came for Penne Alla Vodka and Bruschetta. Complete embarrassment of an establishment, not worth clicking the buttons to get a reservation. Complete waste of our time and we had to get food elsewhere.

Another anniversary spent once again at the legendary Avoli Osteria. The precious moments we spent coming here and reliving the best night of dining we have ever experienced is a severe understatement. First we ordered the focaccia. The charred bites of toasted to perfection Morales were exquisite. Next was the pasta dishes. Bolognese Bianca was presented beautifully and balanced the flavors perfectly. The gnniochi with the homemade pesto and blue cheese creme was a thing of art. The main dish of the night is the Besteca 24 Oz Riley steak. 38 day dry aged steak. To die for. And to top off the night. Our wonderful Waiter Steven was out of this world hospitable. He remembered where we sat and what we ordered from over a year ago. He is what makes this establishment feel like home. And this is where we will be spending our precious moments at from here on out. Thank you avoli chefs for your wonderful dishes and thank you Steven for being a beautiful soul.

TL/DR - Chad our server was extraordinary, carbonara was amazing, appetizers were amazing, atmosphere was great- our table could have used a draft as it was slightly warm. INCREDIBLE Italian food in a comfy & sophisticated restaurant.
My wife took me here to celebrate a big win and it was a wonderful experience. Chad was super helpful in deciding what to get since I had never been there. I chose the carbonara, complemented by an order of pork belly at Chad’s recommendation. It was a lot of food but my goodness was it good. As an appetizer, we got the Brussel sprouts and marinated olives. Both were amazing- the brussel sprouts were crunchy all the way through and hearty in the middle- wow! I was then surprised by a delicious dessert with a congrats from Chad. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Only reason I gave atmosphere a 4/5 is because it was a little hot and stuffy at the table we got. It was a corner table so that is to be expected somewhat but it would have perfect with a slight draft- maybe a ceiling fan on the lowest setting would do the trick. One more thing to add: evidently there was a glass broken near our table and I didn’t know about it until later when my wife told me. Just an illustration of the crew’s ability to keep the mood relaxed and professional. 9.5/10 overall experience.

The best food we've had in Omaha! We started with a beautiful cucumber salad and the grilled octopus, next the squid ink radiatori, followed by the Croatian duck pasta that was on special, and ended with a perfect flourless chocolate cake. Our server coursed out our meal perfectly! Can't wait to come back!

We went for our anniversary dinner and were very pleased. The food was excellent, the service was just right and the atmosphere was nice.
I had one of the specials and it was super. The affogato dessert is not a difficult one, but they made it better than just about any I've ever had.

Avoli is one of the best restaurants in Omaha. The wait staff are so knowledgeable on the menu and there is exceptional service to ensure the food is coursed correctly. The ambiance is perfect it’s small but not too close together or too quiet. The food is always amazing

Absolutely wonderful. Ambiance, food and service. This is our second time there and it is consistently very good.
This restaurant has amazing desserts. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating to travelers. Hopefully they don't serve Joe Mosbrook who thinks restaurant workers should have picked a different carrier.

We used their back space recently for my husbands graduation party and our daughters baptism and had the most incredible experience. Lauren helped us to curate an incredible evening. The service was fantastic, the food was phenomenal and the entire night we smoother than I could have ever expected. If are ever in Omaha, this place is a must!
I lived in Europe for over a decade, traveled frequently to Italy and all over, and all I can say is nothing in Omaha so far has taken me back like Avoli Osteria.
The only inauthentic element was the service, because it was so much more attentive and kind than you'd find in Europe. Our server - I wish I'd gotten his name, but he's studying to be a pilot - was such a gem.
We ordered entirely from the seasonal/daily menu - grilled sardines, the veg of the day (asparagus) and the pasta of the day with some focaccia and olives on the side. Everything was phenomenal , but the pasta was the real standout. Just perfectly al dente but bursting with flavor.
The wine list is also great, I appreciated the nods to the Balkans, one of my favorite areas in the world, we had a Bosnian white that paired perfectly with the sardines and pasta.
No flaws, no notes, prices are fair for the quality and quantity of the food. We'll be back soon!
